Happy Birthday Erica! This was the second year in a row that the kids and I got to hang out with Erica and Jack on her birthday. The two of them came over to the house and we all helped make cupcakes after lunch. The kids loved singing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
And they all LOVED decorating their own cupcake! :)
The kids also enjoyed playing together and exchanging Christmas presents. This will be the last year for a few years that we get to celebrate any holidays with Erica and Jack since they will be moving to Guam in March for Matt's job in the Navy. We're sad to see them go but we've been lucky to have them live so close for 5 1/2 years, much longer than they were suppose to. And they'll be back, our fingers are crossed!
That evening we headed to Bernardo Winery where they're having their December Lights celebration. Lots of craft booths, food, wine and Santa and Mrs. Claus of course! Look at Tatum's face. She was so excited to sit on Santa's lap again to reiterate that she wants a real Cinderella to come live with us. Hmmm.
Ty got up there too and said he wants a truck. :)
There was also Petal's the clown there who did face painting and balloon creations. I love Ty's face in this picture. He couldn't stop watching her intently. Petal's kept asking if he wanted something painted since he was practically breathing down her throat. But nope, just wanted to see what was happening to his sister's face.
Tatum asked to look like a Sugar Plum Fairy.
Then we took a horse drawn carriage ride around the vineyards, so fun!
The kids thought it was great!
And Mom and I enjoyed our wine on the ride. I said if we closed our eyes, we could make believe we were in Central Park! :)
After looking at all the decorations, crafts and shops, we headed home to Grandma's house for dinner. A very merry night!
